The theme of the twelve tribes of Israel is one of the key points for observing the continuity and discontinuity between Judaism and Christianity, which derives from it. It is therefore a very sensitive topic of 'the parting of the ways', which surprisingly has not aroused much interest among critics. This volume aims to fill this gap by first placing the twelve tribes of Israel in their historical context within Jewish culture, then moving on to the various, often contradictory, interpretations that Christians have given to this concept since the early centuries, before finally using this model to refer to the Church as the new Israel.
Michele Cutino is full Professor since 2012 of Ancient Christianity and Ancient Christian Literature at the Faculty of Catholic Theology of the University of Strasbourg, and he is the Director of UR 4377 'Théologie Catholique et Sciences Religieuses' of the University of Strasbourg since 2019.
